I hate to sound ignorant, but my wife and I are in an argument as to how to pronounce Karajan. I won't tell you how I pronounce it, but my wife says I'm way wrong. Can anybody help with this?

Hello mejess and welcome to the Linda's Forum!  I will try and I hope to help you and your wife. We are all here to learn. Maestro's name pronounced in this way: H érbert fon Kara ian. Practically: H= sucked, E with the accent= closed , V= F, and J= like Y, Yesterday not G or AI! Sorry if I cannot explain to you, but German- English is difficult for me , because I'm Italian! ****** ****** Arturo Toscanini pronunced his name Caragiàn!!! A kiss to your wife Rosy |
